Top Indian buyer of Russian oil weighs in on Western sanctions

Reliance Industries has said it is assessing the compliance requirements and will align its operations accordingly

India’s top oil refiner Reliance Industries is reviewing the impact of Western sanctions on its Russian suppliers and will adjust operations accordingly while maintaining domestic energy security, the company has said.

The statement, seen by RT on Friday, follows earlier media reports that buyers in the South Asian nation may halt imports of Russian crude following the latest US, EU and UK sanctions on oil majors Rosneft and Lukoil.

Western countries have repeatedly targeted Moscow with sanctions over the Ukraine conflict. On Wednesday, Washington joined Brussels and London in announcing additional measures targeting the two Russian oil majors.

Reliance, which has a ten-year deal to buy nearly 500,000 barrels of crude per day from Rosneft, has reportedly been India’s largest importer of Russian oil this year by volume. Rosneft also holds a 49% stake in Nayara Energy, which operates the Vadinar refinery in the western state of Gujarat.

Reliance said it is “currently assessing the implications, including the new compliance requirements,” both for its crude imports and refined product exports to Europe. The company added that it would follow any guidance from the Indian government to stay aligned with the country’s “energy security” goals.

The refiner said it would adjust operations to meet new regulations and manage changing market conditions, “while maintaining the relationships with its suppliers.”

Reuters earlier reported that Reliance and other Indian refiners were reviewing their Russian oil supply contracts to ensure no barrels were sourced directly from Rosneft or Lukoil after the latest sanctions took effect.

In August, US President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on India as a penalty for its purchases of Russian oil, claiming the trade was helping Moscow prolong the conflict.

Russia has said that threats of sanctions or tariffs on its partners violate their sovereign rights.

Russia has been India’s top oil supplier since 2022, providing over 36% of nation’s crude imports so far this year, according to data from analytics firm Kpler. During the same period, India has become a key exporter of refined fuels to Europe.

Police Report Reveals Democrat DC Congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton Has “Early Stages of Dementia”

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the longtime nonvoting representative for D.C. in the U.S. House, was scammed in her home by people who said they were part of a cleaning crew, her office told News4. The suspects charged almost $4,400 to her credit card for work they did not perform, police said.

An internal police report obtained by News4 details how suspects were able to enter Norton’s home on Thursday and access her credit card before someone, whom her office called a house manager and friend, was able to put a stop to it.

A D.C. police report described Norton, 88, as having the “early stages of dementia,” and said Norton has a caretaker with power of attorney. Norton’s office pushed back against that claim.

Multiple people claiming to be HVAC workers arrived at Norton’s home on 9th Street SE just after 3:30 p.m. Thursday, the field commissioner’s report says.

Norton let the workers into the home to perform HVAC services. But, despite no service taking place, the workers charged $4,362 for duct and fireplace cleaning, the report says.

Texas doctor surrenders license after being sued for giving cross-sex hormones to minors

"May Lau has done untold damage to children, both physically and psychologically, and the surrendering of her Texas medical license is a major victory for our state."

A Texas doctor has surrendered her medical license after being sued by Attorney General Ken Paxton over her prescribing of so-called cross sex hormones to children in the state.

In October 2024, Paxton sued May Lay, a Dallas-based doctor, for providing "high-dose cross-sex hormones to twenty-one minor patients for the direct purpose of 'transitioning' the child’s biological sex," using false diagnoses and billing codes. This went against a bill passed in Texas in 2023 that prohibits medicinal and surgical procedures for the purposes of changing a child’s gender.

Lau had previously entered into a Rule 11 agreement, which prohibited her from engaging in the practice of medicine on patients. As part of the agreement, she was blocked from prescribing cross sex hormones to minors "for the purposes of transitioning a child’s biological sex or affirming a child’s belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex," and from treating, prescribing, or billing for treatments "that are for the purposes of transitioning a minor’s biological sex or affirming their belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex using false diagnoses or billing codes."

The Friday press release from Paxton’s office stated, "The surrendering of her medical license permanently bars Lau from experimenting on children in Texas in the future. The case against her for violating state law by giving illegal cross-sex hormones to kids to 'transition' them remains ongoing."

Paxton added in a statement, "Doctors who permanently hurt kids by giving them experimental drugs are nothing more than disturbed left-wing activists who have no business being in the medical field. May Lau has done untold damage to children, both physically and psychologically, and the surrendering of her Texas medical license is a major victory for our state. My case against her for breaking the law will continue, and we will not relent in holding anyone who tries to ‘transition’ kids accountable."
